heyho Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 Just noticed a bit of paint bubbling over one of my rear wheel arches on my 2004 350Z. The other three arches are fine. Want to get it done. Can anyone suggest a decent workshop that will do the work in the Leeds area. I have been recommended a place called Jessops (not the camera shop lol) which isn't too far away in Wakefield. I have not had this work down before so what should I be budgeting for one wheel arch, rust removal and respray? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jords Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 If it's bubbling up it is likely to mean rust forming behind the paint. I used a place called G and A Spence bodyshop in bradford. Good people and have done some lovely work for me and the people who referred me to them. I would expect (even insist on) the following: Strip paint of the arch around the affected area... cut out any rust.... Weld in new metal... zinc prime, waxoyl inside the arch to death and then repaint. Shouldn't be too costly if you have caught it early.

Jords Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 Oh and for the one arch I might say £300 - £400. You could find cheaper but I would try visit and get a quote from 2 reputable bodyshops that are confident dealing with rust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
